  • You know what? Neoliberal democracy is dead, but there’s still a chance for liberal democratic values to rise again. I’ve been seeing some real anger from the libs since Petti. Real fucking hardcore anger from people who, before, I’d dismissed as asleep, willing to hide instead of fight.

    It’s like seeing an accountant dad lose his shit and pick up a big old tree branch, shouting in rage, when some asshole punches his kid. I hope it’s not theater, and I hope it does not get catharsis from meaningless wins like Bovino.

    The Democrat leadership is lost, but with enough anger, real liberal believers could just go in and hollow it out and wear the old party like a skin suit.


  • Excuse me, we’re Chinese trolls, thanks very much; we are unhealthily obsessed with China because it’s incredibly economically successful, it’s the last hope of actual oldschool dictatorship of the worker socialism, and it’s barely avoided being controlled by the market.

    It’s incredibly centralised, it’s authoritarian, yes, but it’s also building all the solar panels and executing billionaires when they get too powerful and making the imperial nations look like chumps, so you should forgive us for our infatuation.

    My lack of action and lack of building local organisation? Guilty. I’m trying to correct this. China is not the model for the West, and even the Chinese govt says that, so as a true Chinahead I do not call for Chad Xi to come save us, that is missing the fucking point. We must grow our own socialist organisations to bypass the state, and anarchists and syndicalists might be the best idea for the West, with our individualism and love of freedom.
